This is a city-wide initiative that aims to fill the gap in free nursery provision for the under 3s. The programme would introduce a targeted, needs/assessment-led grant related to the level of vulnerability for children categorised in Bands 1 and 2 as appropriate. • Managers of nurseries would bid for support for individual children and families via the two Early Years Service Managers – criteria need to be agreed, but support will be targeted to support the most needy families.

Families in Partnership (FIP) involves partnership working with social work, education, health and the voluntary sector to develop family learning. The projects are based in nurseries and primary schools. (48 establishments in total currently).
